The Unique Role of Yisroel as Hashem’s Desirable Land

Lessons in Likutay Torah | December 10, 2025

Writes only regarding Yisroel, “You will be My desirable land.” (Malachi 13:12) אַתֶּּם לִּי אֶּרֶּ ץ חֵפֶּץ

Meaning, as is known, that the Ein Sof-Infinite One is referred to as Kadosh-Sacred and Apart, and “I Hashem have not changed,” (Malachi 3:6) and “You are the One prior to the creation of the world, and You are [the identical] One following the creation of the world,” and “All will exalt You, forever,” (Shachris Prayer).

יַּכ ּוניְיַהְו , ש ֶּבְּחִּינַת אֵין ־ סוֹף נִּקְ רָּ א 'קָּדוֹש ' וּמוּבְדָּּל – "אֲנִּי הֲוָּיָּה לֹא ש ָּנִּיתִּ י" (מַלְאָּכִּי ג, ו) ; וְ "אַתָּּה הוּא קוֹדֶּם ש ֶּנִּּבְרָּ א הָּעוֹלָּם , וְאַתָּּה הוּא לְאַחַר ש ֶּנִּּבְרָּ א הָּעוֹלָּם כוּ' ;" וְ "ךּומְמֹורְי לֹּכַה סֶּלָּה " .

The fact that the creation of the worlds creates no change whatsoever in Hashem’s Oneness, and He is the only real existence now just as before the world’s creation, shows that He is infinitely exalted beyond the entire category of our world. He is so exalted that compared to His true existence it is as if we have no real existence whatsoever, and therefore do not change His status as being the Only Existence.

Now, to bring worlds into existence is only with “Your Malchus-Kingship, [which is creating] the Kingship of all worlds;” [since] “There is no king without a nation;” and that is why we can only “Praise Your [Royal] Name forever,” since His Essence is beyond our grasp and understanding to praise it.

תֹומָּלֹוע תֹוּוַהְתִּהְל לַכּו יֶּ שְו , הוּא רַ ק ע לָּּכ תּוכְלַמ ךְתּוכְלַמ" יֵדְי לַעוֹ לָּמִּ ים" (תְּהִּלִּּים קמה, יג) , " םָּע אֹלְּב ךֶּלֶּמ ןיֵא" כוּ' ; " דַעָּל ךְמִּ ש חַּבַּתְ שִּיכוּ' "

Hashem’s ‘Name’ represents His attribute of Malchus-Kingship, since a name is only for other people to call to someone, it isn’t needed for the person by himself; similarly, the attribute of Kingship is how Hashem ‘relates’ to created beings by giving them existence and life.
